Unit cost of inventory item is Zero

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

We generate some invoices and found that unit cost of items is zero in the sales transaction entry. I wnt to the smartlist>purchasing>receiving line items and searched the item but this item was never received. I went to the inventory>inquiry and inquired Qty on hand was 40, 15 were allocated and 25 was available. but standard cost and current cost iz zero.

I realized that at the time of entering opening balances and opening inventory qty someone may be forgot to enter the unit cost.

Now I want to give the cost to that specific item. How can it assign a unit cost so that it could be picked up and shown in invoice.

    As a follow up question, is there any configuration in GP that will force the Sale Invoice entry to require unit cost value to be greater than 0? Thanks

    When you are using an Averaging valuation method you need to manage your standard costs. Tim's suggestion is a good starting point.

    Have a look at the tool Tools> Utilities>Inventory>Change Item Standard Cost

    Press F1 on that form to get more info.
